Aller Vale's history goes back to 1865. The Torquay
company originally made earthenware domestic goods. John Phillips started
the Aller Vale Art Pottery in the 1880s after the original pottery (J Phillips
and Co) was damaged by fire.

In the last decade of the nineteenth century the company gained public
approbation when its wares were stocked by Liberty & Co. of Regent Street,
London. After the death of Phillips in 1897, the company was acquired by
Hexter Humpherson & Co., who amalgamated it with another of their acquisitions,
Watcombe Pottery, and the new firm
was known as Royal Aller Vale & Watcombe Co.
